Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and Italian sausage until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Assemble the Pie:
Roll out one pie crust to fit a deep-dish pie pan or 9-inch skillet, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
Layer in this order:
½ the mozzarella cheese
Cooked meat mixture
½ the pepperoni slices
Pizza sauce (spread evenly)
Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes
Remaining mozzarella + cheddar/provolone
Rest of the pepperoni
Top with the second pie crust, crimping edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top for venting.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder.
3. Bake & Serve:
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Enjoy your cheesy, meaty pizza pie! 🍕
